1) Manning shows his inconsistent play, and the Giants as a result become inconsistent. We saw him play 4 Q’s in G1-3, and in the last 2 games we have seen regression. Two quarters were good enough against a weaker opponent at home… as Manning goes so goes this team.2) AARON ROSS!!!! Let’s quickly say that he did not even start in the first half because he broke a team rule. Now that that is out of the way (and assuming it is non-issue going forward), THE GIANTS HAVE FOUND THEMSELVES A PLAYER! THIS DEVELOPMENT IS NOTHING SHORT OF HUGE. We have noticed the quiet impact this rookie having… that the defense has given up a total of THREE POINTS in EIGHT quarters that he has started. That is not an accident. He has been making plays and has been around the ball. And then today. I thought the first INT was huge. I thought the second INT was Sehorn-esque. If this guy can stay healthy and keep on improving, he is going to be a force. The Giants have not had an impact player in the secondary since 1997 with Sehorn before his ACL injury. And the last Giants defense to be dominant was in 1997. The ramifications of the Giants finding themselves a cornerback are enormous.3) Wake me up from my Leon Washington nightmare.4) Plaxico Burress continues to make impact plays.5) I will defend Coughlin’s decision to pass at the end of H1. I will not defend the pass by Manning into tight double coverage.6) The Giants defense gave up 7 points this game. They are getting better. I was disappointed there were zero sacks, but they pressured Pennington enough to make it count.7) Shockey must get more involved.8) Jacobs made a startling admission in the post-game that he felt it was almost a foregone conclusion he would cough up the ball at some point, having been out for ~3+ games. Honest, but unacceptable. Both he and Ward did well otherwise.9) Our kicker is not getting enough length on kickoffs. Our field position is a killer.10) AARON ROSS!!!! Second mention for the impact he made on this game.
